Re: GNOME Boxes resizing the disk

qemu-img, virt-resize, and guestfish. It depends on whether you're
shrinking or growing which you use and in what order. All of it can be
done from the host using qemu-img and guestfish, without the VM being
online. And guestfish can resize (well, delete then add) MBR and GPT
partitions, resize LVs, and at least the three major filesystems. For
sure the VM needs to be off when using guestfish.

Of course, you could boot the VM from some other image, and use the
tools you're familiar with from inside the VM. For growing, it's
possible to do this online even without booting from some other image,
but it'll take one early reboot after changing the last partition
size, or adding another partition, to capture the extra space from
qemu-img resize.
